The King and I...

YES, YES, YES...JESUS IS MY KING!

However...God has given me a man who makes me feel like his QUEEN here on earth. This is my dear husband Ken-Jim (Kenneth James Fisher).

I've been dealing with bi-polar for MANY years, but this summer finally began mood stabilizers. (If you've read my second post of September you may understand this more?) In June I became aware of my mistaken medication problem and WANTED to leave my husband...SO THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY MORE OF MY ILLNESS! He is HERE and he's STAYING! AMEN! God has "provided" for me.

At the moment I'm listening to the Sound Track of the movie "The King and I"...the one with Yul Brenner. Jim (aka...Ken or James or Dad or...whatever!) bought me the LP (Instead of CD's we had what's called long playing records or LP's.)during our "courtship" much of this music burrowed itself into my heart. I'm just now realizing that the thoughts I had of LOVE way back in the 60's were going to grow SO MUCH MORE in the years to come.

I am blessed and I'm doing much better with my new meds. I am SO GLAD I didn't LEAVE in June...and that I've got the rest of my life to spend with this TRUELY WONDERFUL MAN.

Ken wasn't a Christian when we met and for many years into our marriage. He became a TRUE Christian and has grown SO MUCH more in the past several years. He was ALWAYS a GREAT MAN and always much more patient and caring than me! I learned FROM him what it means to "walk the walk" as I "reprised" the lessons learned from many years of Sunday school lessons. He's taught me so much more about the Bible and HOW to apply it's content. These lessons were taught and learned earlier, but now I know much more about the APPLICATION of those lessons through Ken's "walk". (Growing older DOES have it's "perks"! We see things from a new perspective.)

Anyway...the music in this CD is so SPECIAL to me. The long ago LP has been missed and now I have it to enjoy again...EVEN MORE with 40 years of marriage behind us and however many we have "left" ahead. Even when "one of us is gone and one is left to carry one" I KNOW that this love will continue to PROVIDE for whoever is "leftover". We have a "sort of contest" going. Whoever is "leftover" is the loser, but they are not to be sad for the winner...BECAUSE the winner will await the loser in Heaven!

I wish the BEST to all of you MARRIED or about to be...Take a listen sometime to this wonderful musical about true love, which also reminds ME that God gives SO MUCH to us by HIS LOVE. THANK YOU GOD FOR KENNETH JAMES FISHER!

(Sometimes music doesn't have to be Christian to "speak to us" and I've OFTEN made LOVE songs "Christian" as I simply substitute GOD as the LOVER and the LOVED ONE! After all, God is the source of ALL love, so GOD BLESS YOU ALL!)

ALANE SAYS...and THANKS James for ALL you do and most of all for ALL you are to me!
